8CHAPTER 2: INSTALLING THE NETWORK DRIVER

Windows 98 and Windows 95

This section describes how to install the network driver when your notebook is running Windows 98 or Windows 95. You need the Windows 98 or 95 system installation files (either on hard disk, floppy diskettes, or CD) to complete the installation.

3Com includes the NDIS 5, NDIS 4, and the NDIS 3 network drivers on LAN Installation Disk 1. The 3Com software automatically detects which Windows version is installed on your notebook and loads the correct driver.

The NDIS 5 driver works with Windows 98.

The NDIS 4 driver works with Windows 95 OSR 2 (version 4.00.950B) but not with earlier versions of Windows 95. You must use the latest NDIS.VXD (8/24/96 or later) to use the NDIS 4 driver with Windows 95 OSR 2.

The NDIS 3 driver works with Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR 2.

The following instructions assume that you have not installed any other network adapter in the machine.

If you have been using a network connection on your computer, some of the following instructions may not apply or may produce different results. Refer to your MIS department or system manager for instructions.
